Expert Review and Insights
The Hygiplas board is a classic for a reason. It’s not flashy, but it’s a dependable workhorse that does its job perfectly. The LDPE construction is a key point for me – it’s noticeably kinder to your knife edges than rigid, high-density alternatives, which is a real bonus for any busy chef. It’s a simple, effective tool that nails the basics of kitchen safety and efficiency.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Garden Patch Deli' in York needed to streamline their food prep system to better comply with HACCP guidelines and speed up their lunchtime rush. They replaced their mismatched boards with a full Hygiplas colour-coded set.
"We switched to the Hygiplas system, and this green board for our salads has been brilliant. There’s no more guesswork for the team, and the wash-up process is so much quicker. It just makes the whole kitchen flow better and feel safer."
Robert Finch – Owner
The change resulted in a measured 20% reduction in veg prep time and helped them achieve a 5-star food hygiene rating during their next inspection.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, remove all packaging and give the board a thorough wash with hot, soapy water.
- Designate a specific area in your kitchen for 'green board' tasks (salads/fruit) to reinforce the colour-coding system.
- Ensure it's used on a stable, flat surface. A damp cloth underneath can prevent slipping.
- Brief your team on the colour-coding system to ensure everyone is on the same page from day one.
Keeping It Going
- Clean promptly after use to prevent food residue from drying on the surface.
- The board is safe for use in a commercial dishwasher for easy and effective sanitation.
- Avoid using harsh abrasive scourers, as they can create deep scratches where bacteria could hide.
- Store the board upright in a drying rack to allow air to circulate and ensure it dries completely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is this green chopping board used for?
A: In the standard UK colour-coding system for food hygiene, green is designated for the preparation of fresh salads and fruit.
Q: Is the Hygiplas HC875 chopping board dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, it's made from a material that is completely safe for use in commercial dishwashers, making cleanup quick and hygienic.
Q: What is Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)?
A: It's a type of plastic that is durable and non-absorbent, yet slightly softer than high-density versions, which helps to protect your knife blades from dulling quickly.
Q: Will this board warp in the heat?
A: Like all plastic boards, it should be kept away from direct heat sources like hot pans. However, it is designed to withstand the temperatures of a commercial dishwasher cycle.
Q: Is this board flexible?
A: No, at 10mm thick, it is a rigid and stable cutting surface designed for professional kitchen counters.
Q: Why is a non-absorbent surface important?
A: A non-absorbent surface prevents fruit juices, water, and bacteria from soaking into the board, making it more hygienic and easier to clean thoroughly.
Q: Can I cut raw meat on this board?
A: No. To prevent dangerous cross-contamination, you should use a separate, red-coloured chopping board for raw meat.
Q: What's the best way to store this commercial kitchen cutting board?
A: After cleaning, it's best to store it upright in a dedicated rack. This allows air to circulate freely and ensures it is completely dry before its next use.

Explore more from HygiplasWhat Does 'Low-Density' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?
You see 'Low-Density Polyethylene' (LDPE) and might just skim past it, but it's a feature that directly affects your most valuable tools: your knives. Think of it like the difference between running on pavement versus a proper running track. A high-density board is like pavement—it's very hard and durable, but it's tough on your feet. Similarly, it can dull your knife blades faster. This LDPE board is more like the running track; it has a slight 'give'. It's still incredibly tough and built for commercial use, but it provides a softer landing for your blade with every chop. This helps to preserve the knife's sharp edge for longer, saving you time and money on sharpening and replacements. It's the smart choice for balancing board longevity with proper knife care.
